This Pancake Sausage Casserole is a delightful breakfast dish combining fluffy buttermilk pancakes with savory browned breakfast sausage, layered and baked into a golden, springy casserole. It's perfect for a family brunch or weekend treat.

Ingredients

Pancake Batter

  • 2 cups buttermilk pancake mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup

Sausage

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (bulk or links)

Other

  • 2 tbsp butter (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the sausage. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is browned and crumbly, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease to keep the casserole from becoming greasy.
  3. Mix the pancake batter. In a bowl, combine the buttermilk pancake mix, whole milk, and eggs. Stir gently until just mixed; lumps in the batter are acceptable and help maintain fluffiness.
  4. Add maple syrup and sausage bits. Fold half of the maple syrup and some of the cooked sausage pieces into the batter mixture to incorporate flavor throughout.
  5. Assemble the casserole. Pour half of the batter into the greased baking dish, then evenly layer the remaining cooked sausage over the batter. Top with the remaining batter to create layers.
  6. Bake the casserole. Bake the dish uncovered in the preheated oven for 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the casserole feels springy to the touch, indicating that it is cooked through.

Notes

  • For a spicier flavor, use spicy breakfast sausage or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter.
  • Make sure to drain excess grease from the sausage to prevent a greasy casserole.
  • Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set and make slicing easier.
  • Maple syrup can be drizzled on top before serving for extra sweetness.
  • This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning for convenience.
